Hi everyone, I realize its short notice but anyone want to join me in a 90 day weight loss challenge? Winner receives a $50 Amazon gift card :)

Simple rules, must weigh in on Mondays with picture of your scale showing your weight, beginning Dec. 16th. Each week you must maintain or lose. If you gain, you're automatically disqualified. At the end of the 90 days (March 16, 2014) whoever loses the highest percentage of weight wins.

Will probably create a closed group on here or Facebook to keep track.

Let me know if you're interested and post a little about yourself and your goals :)

    I am a 25 year old mommy of 2...I simply stopped taking care of myself because I was so focused on taking care of my kids. I am more determined than ever to lose because I realized that its important for me to be healthy in order to care for them. I am 5'7 and currently weigh 234 lbs. My MFP goal is set to 185 but my shorter term goal is to get under 200. I would love to join this challenge!

    Id love to join this! I'm 19 years old in college. I'm 5'9 and as of today 178.4. I'm living on a college budget so eating healthy has been more difficult than it was before but I'm doing it. I've lost over 15lbs since restarting losing weight. My goal is to get back to 135lbs!

    Hello, I am interested in joining the Challenge I have a few questions though. Are you definitely goin to create a close group, if so are we supposed to post our weights on the group page every Monday to keep track. And when will the group be created?

    I would love to join!! I lost all motivation and this may be what I need to get back on track :)

    I'm a mom to a 5 yr old boy. The heaviest I have ever been was 247. I started a healthier life style this past June and by end of summer had lose 20 lbs. I kept going and got down to 221. Life start going crazy and the last I checked I was at 234 :( put on 13 lbs bleh. I definitely need to get back on track and when I first started I had a goal to reach by my 30th bday which in January. I will not reach that goal but I will work on reaching it while I'm 30 :)

    I'd love to be a part of this also. I recently bought a gym membership so I've been visiting the gym every other day, and I've been eating healthier. I think this would be a good motivator for going to the gym too, and working harder to take off a few more pounds. I know I'm probably the youngest one here (almost 16), but I am tired of being wayyy overweight. I weight 196.8 right now, and I really would like to be down in the 170's or 180's by the summer time (3 months isn't summer yet, but I'd still be working at my goal. All in all I'd like to lose a good 60 lbs). Anyway, I think this is a great idea.

    Hi! My name is Ali. I'm a wife, mother to a 2 year old girl & I work full time in HR. I lost almost 50 lbs starting in late 2012 & early 2013. I used Weight Watchers online & spark people. I workout 4-5 times a week but my eating habits have slipped & I've gained 15 lbs back since summer... I recently stopped paying for WW & was looking for a god mobile app to replace it. SP's app has terrible reviews & MFP has great reviews! So, that's what brought me to MFP. I saw this challenge & thought it would be a great motivator! I'll weigh in tomorrow with my pic!
    Thanks Courtney for starting the challenge!!!

    I'd like to join! I'm trying to improve my health through diet and exercise. Losing weight is secondary, but also sorely needed!

    Hi Courtney! How are you? My name is Sharita and I can really use this motivational challenge/boost to jumpstart my weight loss. Can I please get some information because I'm in on the challenge. Is it safe to weigh after I've eaten breakfast this morning? Just seen the challenge. I'm not sure how I become apart but I want to. I'll be more than happy to add you to my friends. Let me know what I need to do, I'm excited.
